Synopsis

Until her paper, the Baltimore Star, crashed and burned, Tess Monaghan was a damn good reporter who knew her hometown intimately -- from historic Fort McHenry to the crumbling projects of Cherry Hill. Now gainfully unemployed at twenty-nine, she's willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent -- including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton.

In a city where someone is murdered almost everyday, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety -- and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancee -- make the case front page news...and points to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence couls prove costly to Tess -- and add her name to that infamous ever-growing list.

Awesome book

An absolutely great mystery novel. Full of plot twists and it kept me guessing right to the end!!!! Can't wait to read book 2.

Baltimore Blues

Tend to escape the real subject or purpose of this story. Too many other details not really related to the crime being discussed in this book. It could go on too long.

BALTIMORE BLUES

1st in a series, featuring Tess Monaghan.
Enjoyed the story, and the characters are fresh and rendered vividly - and realistic.
Thought the wrap-up a tad rushed and "deus ex machina", but on the balance, I recommend the novel.
